Chickens probably won't show any indication of suffering from smoke. As it is with wildlife, they'll just keep on doing their thing.
This is why it's best to assume the smoke is causing problems for them, because if you think about it, how could it not. Direct inhalation and diluted drift smoke, it's all potentially harmful.
We're in a similar predicament. If it gets bad, we'll bring them inside and keep them in their own room. It's not ideal, and it's also not to code here, but there are long term consequences when exposed to ongoing smoke like this.
